To be or not to be..Me!!!
My name is Cleo and
Some people say I am "An eccentric old bird"
I say to them "That is simply absurd"
If you think just Because
I like to be chauffeured on a bike
Then I reply
"This is my privilege and something that I like"
I am after all
Rather rare and exotic
Some say my feathers
Are even erotic.
I wear them with flair
Don't you agree?
I am an Electus Parrot
A Beautiful Native from Tropical New Guinea
And Yes I can Fly as Free as Can be
But I choose to be the pampered pet
And
Not just another bird sitting in some swaying palm tree.
No way!
That would be too common
For an eccentric beauty
Like me.

Gorgeous bird! Didn't know they could be pets.
ReplyDeleteFlutters away with a broken wing. lol
ReplyDeleteIt will mend on the morrow.
Lololol Milli...cute poem and bird. Reminds me of a cockatiel an office mate of mine had years ago. I never thought birds had personality until "Chip"came along. He would perch on my shoulder while I did paperwork and sometimes try to grab my pen. And he definitely had personality!
ReplyDeleteHe is a beauty.
ReplyDeleteLove the verse.
He isn't yours is he?
I would love to have a bird like that.
Thanks for sharing.
Delightful - as is he, I expect.
ReplyDeleteGreat fun...thank you for this! He is so gorgeous!

ReplyDeleteDear Friends I need to let you know that Cleo is a Girl.
ReplyDeleteShe does have a Big Personality and belongs to a local man. I met her one day at the super market. Like it was said by Joe, Birds sure can have personalities and be very eccentric as well. She is a beautiful creature.
That was quite lovely. Beautiful plumage. Marvellously vivid colours.
ReplyDeleteVery nice write for this colorful bird!
ReplyDeleteReally fantastic write up on a really beautiful parrot. loved the pic as well as the verse. Job well done Milli.
